That image was the impetus for learning more about the man behind the post, perhaps to understand his motivation for publishing the type of material that does nothing to promote peace and dialogue but instead, it fixates on historical revisionism that ascribes to Israel the world’s afflictions and fuels the nakba (catastrophe) narrative. It portrays Israel as a colonialist entity, an apartheid state, and Israelis into persona non-grata worldwide. The story of the Palestinian refugees and their right of return has a unique way of enlisting the most ardent of activists who embrace an all-or-nothing approach, and their hostility is especially selective – their main focus is castigating Israel and with the help of academics, students, and celebrities the lines are blurred between mainstream and extreme opinions. What is going on here? Is it really all about moral outrage over Israel’s existence?... He likes to vilify Israel just as much as he enjoys building grotesquely opulent mansions for the rich and famous. He may even like the former a little more than the latter. Also, he has a lot of followers, around one million, so do his children who are often featured in his posts.</blockquote>

<blockquote>
This week the people of London mark the anniversary of the 7/7 suicide bombings, which claimed the lives of 52 people. This might be as good a time as any to look at the challenges journalists face in covering intentional, ideologically based lethal attacks on civilians, which is to say, terrorism.
Journalists are right to fear calling a terrorist a terrorist. The word is often misused, its power exploited, its capacity for bias unbounded, its application all too often judgmental, inflammatory, grossly inexact, even racist.
Sometimes, though, terrorism actually is terrorism.
Last week, a Palestinian drove a bulldozer past a building which houses a number of major world and Israeli news media outlets, ramming the earth mover over and into a succession of cars in an incident which shocked and perplexed a public and a journalist corps which, until that moment, believed that they had seen it all...
... Terrorism is many things, but justifiable is not among them. The person who justifies terror in any form, is declaring that it is legitimate in certain cases to kill innocent people. If justifying the murder of innocents because they belong to a certain hated group is not abject racism, I'd like to know what is.</blockquote></ref> broadcasting to the many millions of their followers at [[Guardian of Walls]] operation before sharp rise in anti-Jewish racism, anti Semitism.<ref>[https://jewishjournal.com/news/337030/nyt-ad-slams-dua-lipa-hadid-sisters-for-anti-israel-rhetoric/ NYT Ad Slams Dua Lipa, Hadid Sisters for Anti-Israel Rhetoric], JJ, May 25, 2021.</ref><ref>[https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=https://www.ynet.co.il/judaism/article/H15tJ00ttO For the information of the Hadid sisters and their liberal friends: You have a responsibility to the harming of Jews], Natasha Kirtziuk-Gutman, Ynet, May 25, 2021.</ref><ref>[https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9577383/Bari-Weiss-rails-against-AOC-Hadid-sisters-Dua-Lipa-attacked-Israel.html Bari Weiss rails against AOC, the Hadid sisters and Dua Lipa after they all 'attacked Israel'], Lauren Fruen for the ''Daily Mail,'' Nay 14, 2021.<blockquote>
